Foreign Language

Academic Programs

The Foreign Language department offers a major or minor in Spanish. In an ever-shrinking world, knowing another language is more important than ever!

Foreign language study makes an excellent combination with other specialties such as Business, Criminal Justice, and Hotel and Restaurant Management. Students majoring in Education may also pursue a course of study leading to teaching certification in a foreign language.

Foreign Language courses focus on helping students learn to use the languages in practical, real-life, communicative tasks. Students also learn about the cultures of which the languages are an expression.

Students may also take up to two semesters of New Testament Greek and/or Old Testament Hebrew through the Department of Philosophy and Religion. These biblical languages are offered on demand, and may not be offered on a regular basis.
